Lyrics

Mi – i – i – i – i – i – i – ami
Y’know I never knew
That your beaches were so balmy
Your water oh so blue
Thought you only were for snow birds
Rocking chairs along the street
But you got a flock of new birds
Rocking to a different beat.

CHORUS:
And they’re living it up, living it up in Miami
They’re building it up...building it up to the sky
They’re eating it up, drinking it down in Miami
You won’t find a bargain in all South Beach
But we can make believe it’s within our reach.....

Mi – i – i – i – i – i – i – ami
Art deco’s back alright!
Pastel colors in the sunshine
Neon fantasy at night.
Music pouring from the cafes
Enjoy a cool mojito
Watch the woman with nine bracelets
Swat another darn mosquito.

CHORUS:
And they’re living it up, living it up in Miami
They’re building it up...building it up to the sky
They’re eating it up, drinking it down in Miami
You won’t find a bargain in all South Beach
But we can make believe it’s within our reach.....

BRIDGE:
Mi – i – i – i – i – i – i – ami
My – oh - miami
Mi – i – i – i – i – i – i – ami
You want the world to see

That when all is said and done
With your palm trees, sea and sun
You may be a little glitzy
You may be a little ritzy
You may be a little humid
But you’re sure a lot of fun!

Mi – i – i – i – i – i – i – ami
You’re sure a lot of fun.
